THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE ALL MAD

THE PROJECT

TBOAAM is a feature length film set in a Mental rehab ward in an Austin Hospital. It is a multi-ethnic, multi-dimensional and multi-genre’d look into the world of mental health as it relates to young people. It is a fast-paced, psychological drama set amongst the popular landmarks of Austin, Texas. This character driven story follows a culturally diverse cast of scarred individuals whose lives have become intertwined through a series of co-dependent relationships. With a raw intensity reminiscent of Dev Patel in the box-office hit, Slumdog Millionaire, the feature TBOAAM will often have you on the edge of your seat as two seemingly lost souls go on a romantic, whimsical yet real and fully gritty journey only to end up where they first discovered each other, alone and empty

Over the course of three days, the concept trailer (Featured Video) above was put together with a crew of only four (The two featured actors, a cinematographer, and a production assistant) on a very minimal budget. Given the resources we had, and what we were able to achieve, it should come as no surprise that with your generous donations, we can truly make an epic film that you can be proud of.

Festival Fees: Submission fees for global festivals, in order to reach a much wider audience.

Regardless of the contribution, your donation would be an asset to our production team.

WRITER/DIRECTOR

Uche Aguh as Kunle

Uche is a Nigerian-American filmmaker who is most passionate about telling stories about the human experience. With each story, he seeks to transcend the audience into a distant world, through which they can also examine, their issues. With this particular story, the characters and their behaviours are not vindicated, justified, or validated. Simply, they are allowed to live in their mess and complexity, in hopes the audience, will engage and participate in active dialogue and conversation.
